Our Airyhall Vision
Our Airyhall Vision
Embedded Files
Sustainability is one of our core values. These values were created by the learners and consulted on with parents, staff and community members.
Our Airyhall Agreement (school rules) were created by the learners and environment is an integral part of this also.
Curriculum Rationale
Curriculum Rationale
In 2023 we worked with learners, staff and parents to get a shared understanding of our Curriculum Rationale. The graphic below shows the outcome of this. There are links to the environment and Eco throughout.
Learner Friendly Improvement Plan
Learner Friendly Improvement Plan
The Pupil Council work in the Learner Friendly Improvement Plan which is renewed each year.
Our learners were consulted in a families activity on the sorts of things they would like to include in the three main topics. Their ideas were gathered and presented in the first Eco Plan and then the Eco Group presented all the ideas to the whole school at an assembly and we decided to go forward with some of the ideas. See Link Above!
Environmental Audit
Environmental Audit
Each year a new Eco Group is formed. Learners apply to be an Eco Group Member and we choose new members to act on behalf of their class for the whole year. Once the Eco Group has been chosen we take part in the Environmental Audit. We do this at the start of the two year cycle and this helps us identify the three main topics for the two year period. For 2021-2023 we chose Litter, Climate Actions and Health and Wellbeing. Health and Wellbeing was already on our School Improvement Plan and our Learner Friendly Improvement Plan.
